Post-Quake Tokyo Update
March 23rd, 2011
Gasoline supplies seem to be back. After more than a week of humongous lines at the 5% of gas stations that weren’t closed, today gas stations were back up and lines were short. And while milk was still missing, almost everything else–including toilet paper and bread–was back on the shelves in supermarkets.
This is not to say that everywhere is fully stocked. But it looks like the shortages are no longer a problem.
Power is more stable, but I was wrong when I assumed blackouts were not happening anymore. They are–but my neighborhood remains online, and has not had power go out once yet.
